as much as i'm skeptical about rotating stew into an already-gelling lineup, having both these guys back is absolutely fantastic timing. the falcons won't be a cakewalk, but it'll be a good game for them to warm back up and get into the game before jumping into the hardest stretch of our schedule. we'll need all the help we can get against SF, NE, and the saints.

Most times you can't just plug a player in at this point and expect them to contribute right away.  He has kept in shape and is healthy but may not be in football shape right now.  Even if he is active, don't expect him to play a bunch of plays right away.  He needs to be eased into action and then evaluated to see how he handles it.  Practicing on a Wednesday with little contact is very different than suiting up and playing on Sunday.  With Williams and Tolbert doing very well, we have the luxury of bringing Stewart along slowly.

easing in two guys like Dwan and Stewart at this point of the year isn't a bad thing... these are the types of guys who can make a major impact by bringing in fresh legs as the season wears on.  hopefully that could lead to us "peaking" at the right time and getting us into the playoffs... something DG's Giants were famous for doing

Yeah, I know having DWill, Stew, Tolbert and Barner is overkill, but I still feel a lot better knowing Stew is good to go should something happen to DWill (and the other way around, as well).

 

Let's enjoy them while we have them.

 

Barner will be in street clothes come sunday.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
